No trade deal yet for the U.S. & Canada

Negotiators from the U.S. and Canada have not reached a breakthrough in trade talks.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer issued a statement Friday afternoon saying President Trump notified Congress of his intent to sign a trade agreement in 90 days with Mexico, and Canada if it is willing.

Lighthizer says the talks were constructive, and they made progress this week, and he says the two countries will be back at the bargaining table Wednesday.

The U.S. and Canada are still struggling to agree on issues including access to Canadian dairy markets and the Chapter 19 dispute settlement process.
